for example, the bird stories we have been features, the louisiana brown pelican, this is the state bird, okay? this is a bird that became nearly extinct in 1963. they recovered this bird but now it s facing another threat. again, one of many, many different species that are being attacked by this oil, and frankly i m not seeing it evaporate because of this hurricane. if anything, keith, the hurricane makes cleaning up this mess even more of a challenge because when you have seas that are pushing from five feet to 12 feet, there s no way you can have the boats out there skimming. you can t have the first responders out there rescuing wildlife. this whole place right now is in the eye of this storm. msnbc science and environment expert jeff corwin in pensacola beach, florida, for us. thank you. some of the most devastating pictures yet of the extent of the damage coming from an alabama conservativist named john wathen who has been flying over the spill whenever he can to document in

wetlands are finished. we fully expect if there is a 2 or 3 storm surge, we could see oil moving further inland or into the marshlands. and still gop fights for the underdog. the corporations. the financial reform bill. this is killing them with a nuclear weapon. do you think the financial crisis was anent and we just needed a littleant slaughter to fix this thing? mr. president, maybe he met atomic death ants from hell. you can t be that out of touch. yes, he can. tonight the democrats try to re-estabilsh jobless benefits. another special comment you may have lost a job. butá7mki business just gained at full freelancer. besides, says sharon angle, there are jobs for you to get. you re just spoiled by the system of entitlement. on the an verse of dr. king s i have a dream speech. he forgot to get the permit. our guest, big press. and, yeah, it s a flying car. four wheels on the ground. it s a car and a plane. it s a dessert topic. all the news and commentar
